- (continued from previous page)The Braucer is owned by James Walsh of Ballymountain. It was formerly owned by a man named Pat the Braucer. He lived in a house in that field but the house has now disappeared. The name Braucer was on the field before he lived there. Because he lived in this field he got the name Pat the Braucer. The word Braucer probably has some connection with the word Bráca which means a harrow.
